Many expats dream of living in Thailand, but understanding how to earn a legal income here is key to making that dream sustainable. In this vlog, I take a closer look at the most common and legitimate ways foreigners make a living in the Land of Smiles.
From teaching English to working in tourism, wellness, or digital services, there are a variety of sectors that welcome foreign talent. Many expats run their own businesses—restaurants, bars, gyms, or online shops—or work remotely for overseas companies while staying compliant with Thai law through the proper visa and tax arrangements.
I also touch on the importance of work permits, the risks of informal work, and how to avoid falling foul of Thai regulations. Thailand does not allow foreigners to do certain jobs reserved for locals, so it’s vital to understand the legal framework before diving in.
Whether you’re freelancing, starting a business, or looking to join an existing company, there are pathways available—but they must be done properly. If you’re serious about living and working in Thailand long-term, this vlog will give you practical insight, real expat examples, and tips to stay on the right side of the law while making a life here.
